PGCon 2010 will be held 20-21 May 2010, in Ottawa. We are now
requesting proposals for presentations. We do not require academic or formal papers. If you wish to submit a formal paper, you are welcome to, but it is not required.

If you are doing something interesting with PostgreSQL, please submit a
proposal. You might be one of the backend hackers or work on a PostgreSQL
related project and want to share your know-how with others. You might be
developing an interesting system using PostgreSQL as the foundation.
Perhaps you migrated from another database to PostgreSQL and would like to
share details. These, and other stories are welcome. Both users and
developers are encouraged to share their experiences.

Here are a few ideas to jump start your proposal process:

novel, unique or complex ways in which PostgreSQL are used

migration of production systems to PostgreSQL

data warehousing with PostgreSQL

tuning PostgreSQL for different work loads

replicating data on top of PostgreSQL

hacking the PostgreSQL code

PostgreSQL derivatives and forks

applications built around PostgreSQL

tuning PostgreSQL for different work loads

tuning and benchmarking

case studies and howtos

location-aware software with PostGIS

emerging features

research and teaching with PostgreSQL

things the PostgreSQL project could do better

Both users and developers are encouraged to share their experiences.
